comment
A historical novel by Arthur Conan Doyle, set during the Hundred Years' War. It mainly follows the adventures of Alleyne Edricson, who is squire to Sir Nigel Loring, and two of his comrades: Samkin Aylward and Hordle John as they travel across France to meet up with the eponymous White Company. Along the way, they have a quite a number of chance encounters, whereby much honor is gained through noble deeds and feats of arms.Some years later, Doyle wrote Sir Nigel, recounting Sir Nigel Loring's youth and how he met Samkin.

Rescue Romance: Alleyne first meets Lady Maude Loring when he spirits her away from the Socman of Minstead's harassment. The second time they meet at Twynham Castle, it's pretty obvious they are into each other.

The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter: Calling Sir Nigel "ugly" is a bit of a stretch, but he is small, skinny, balding and permanently squinting due to near-sightedness. Lady Maude, however, is drop-dead gorgeous.

Chivalrous Pervert: Aylward again. He thinks nothing of juggling three girlfriends and chasing anything in a skirt between visits, but he is very well aware of the difference between 'playing hard to get' and 'not interested', and won't chase a woman who doesn't want to be chased. Threaten a woman of any age or rank in his presence and you are dead.

Honor Before Reason: Sir Nigel treads perilously close to this at times, although other characters (particularly the archers) take a more pragmatic approach. In Sir Nigel, Nigel's superiors have to remind that they're at war, so could he please put the knight-errant attitude at rest for a while. Naturally, he doesn't, which helps save the day.

Taking the Veil: Lady Maude makes preparations to join a convent when she receives word that the White Company was wiped out to the last man, including her father and the man she loves. What she didn't know is that Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated. Alleyne returns to Twynham and takes her away from the convent to marry her.

Overly Generous Fool: Sir Nigel's squire Alleyne is put in charge of his lord's purse by his wife. He doesn't understand why until he sees that Nigel is such a paragon of chivalry he'd cheerfully give their travel funds to beggars without a thought as to the rest of the trip. When Nigel tells him to give a beggar the purse, Alleyne discreetly gives the man a single coin so they can keep going.

Henpecked Husband: Zigzagged. On the one hand, Sir Nigel's wife spends their last ride before his departure making a full list of recommendations to Alleyne regarding the clothes her husband is to wear or the money he isn't to spend (and is proven right shortly after when he tells Alleyne to give his entire purse to a beggar), but on the other hand, he is perfectly capable of handling himself without her assistance, and of course woe betide anyone stupid enough to insult her appearance in earshot of her husband.

Suffer the Slings: A group of slingers are part of the Knights of Calatrava & Santiago, the Spanish army that the White Company engages in battle near the end. They are far from harmless, as the slingers kill the archer Johnston as well as over twenty of his men. A bit later, when Alleyne is trying to climb down a cliff in order to find help for the White Company, one of these slingers decides to take potshots at him. Alleyne is hit twice, and he suffers shattered ribs and a concussion. This is during the historical battle of Navarrete, where the Spanish did indeed have a sizable contingent of slingers.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: When Sir Nigel gets captured by the Spanish in the final battle, they sell him as a galley slave. He manages to escape, kills the captain of the ship, and with some help from Samkin Aylward who had been trying to rescue him, they sail the galley back to England with a ton of riches in its hold. Lady Loring manages to fend off an siege by a rival lord, though Lady Tiphaine gives an account of how the battle is going thanks to her second sight.

comment
Dude, Not Funny!: Ford permits himself a joke about Sir Oliver's weight. Sir Nigel gives him a look that shuts him up, saying no squire of his will make fun of a belted knight. Then he relaxes since Ford hasn't been a squire long enough to know what jokes are and are not permissible.

Wacky Wayside Tribe
 The White Company / int_cedeae6a
comment
Wacky Wayside Tribe: Several, particularly the pirates and the peasant uprising. Sir Nigel seems to enjoy these, and is always on the lookout for them. On a more meta level, the real reason why the book reads like a collection of random adventures is because this was originally a serialized publication (and because the author wanted to show off the research he'd done).

The Cavalry: When trapped in Villefranche, the Company arrives in time to save the heroes- what's left of them. At the final battle, Alleyne nearly dies while riding to find help. When he runs into Englishmen, they rush to the battle, but by then there's only ten men left of the Company.

Action Girl: Lady Loring is described by hardened veterans as being better fit to lead the storming of a fortress than to raise a young girl.

Suddenly Suitable Suitor
 The White Company / int_def5d614
comment
Suddenly Suitable Suitor: Late in the plot, the Socman of Minstead is killed while besieging Twynham Castle, which means Alleyne now owns a sizable estate and a small fortune. It is after he finds this out that he approaches Sir Nigel to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. Actually a bit better than most examples of this trope, as Nigel would have also required a potential husband to be a man who had proven his courage under fire in addition to being able to support a wife, and Alleyne had definitely proved that in his travels with the White Company.

The Lady's Favour: Sir Nigel carries one of his wife's gloves. It is not overly large. One of the other squires asks Lady Maude to take her veil as a sign of her favour, but she gives it to Alleyne instead.
